Q: Wuqoof-i-arafaat is from zawaal of 9th to sunrise 10th Zul Hijjah. If staying after sunset how long can I stay?

A: One should leave immediately after sunset, or a little while thereafter. To stay longer at Arafah without a valid reason is contrary to the Sunnah. (Muallimul-Hujjaj)Prepared by: Moulana Yusuf LaherChecked and approved by: Mufti Siraj Desai
